Great for hidden doors!

Made a secret door in my basement with this. I am so amazed at how smooth and secure these hinges are. The door I built is solid and heavy. I would say it weighs around 100 pounds and I've only used 2 of them. I opened and closed the door at least half a dozen times a day and it didn't sag or do anything weird. He treats her like the door is weightless. Unbelievable. So happy I found her. A very high quality product worth every penny.

Pros
  • No adjustment required after installation
Cons
  • Don't really like it, it's ok

Great for hiding doors in walls

Our home has an upper floor with heavy doors: 3 bedrooms and a laundry room. We wanted to hide the laundry room french doors and make them look like a wall so the stairwell wouldn't look so cluttered with doors. These hinges definitely did their job. While I wasn't entirely happy with how well the laundry room doors blended into the wall, it had more to do with my contractor than those hinges. Properly installed doors function smoothly with no visible external hinges. Just make sure you order…

Pros
  • Riveted steel hinge attached
Cons
  • Minor issues

Tedious to install but great results

They really are built for heavy duty applications. I wasn't expecting that weight at all. Once installed they look great. But the key is probably an experienced installer. To be honest you will have to modify the door jamb for heavier doors (I used four on a 1.85" fireproof door to the garage) if you go flush with no trim. This could be because the hinge is so close to the edge of the post/wall and so recessed that you can't screw anything in from the opening side. You are looking at the…

Pros
  • For use with materials 1-3/4" to 2" thick
Cons
  • Reliability
